Never forget that James Cleverly once had a blazing twitter row with an ice cream company. He is not a serious person.

Like, preventing disorder is literally a core job of the police.

This criticism is utterly ludicrous if you think about it: “It focused on reducing the risk of short-term disorder and long-term damage to local community relations due to the presence of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. It lacked the necessary foresight to recognise the long-term, global consequences.”

The PCC powers are going to elected mayors- the latest step in the utterly crackpot system of local government in this country.

Really quite tragic how just 18 months into power, after waiting 14 long years they are already so listless and so transparently going through the motions.

The dataset from the ONS this article is based is specifically sexual orientation.

So they heaved leaked that they will announce a railway to be built after the railway they have already announced (but not started) is finished. Modern government in a nutshell.

NHS Dentists. I remember those.

There is a certain grim irony that Europe being militarily defenceless in the face of American aggression is something the mango Mussolini has been warning about for most of the last decade.

I mean, it is clearly not that secret...

Murder requires a specific intent to kill or GBH. It is quite a high bar. Homicide includes those deaths caused by intentional or reckless human action and are thus also crimes, but not murder (manslaughter) and those where a specific offence exists (like infanticide). A very useful term.

The OED tells me "homicide" entered the recorded English language from Old French (and ultimately Latin) in the 1300's. I don't think we can blame the American's for events 400 years before the country existed.

Homicide is a perfectly cromulent old English word (ultimately Latin, of course) that has been in use for centuries.

He is a lot better when Ndamukong Suh is there to calm him down a bit, like today.

It is also 2 and a half minutes delayed vs Sky...

We moan because it is objectively a poor performer compared to many peer European nations. You can value and cherish the ideal of the NHS while acknowledging that is not a particularly good healthcare provider (through no fault of front line staff).

This fine was council officers, you fucking weapon.
October 22, 2025 at 5:13 PM
If you actually read the article you would know this is nothing to do with the police.
October 22, 2025 at 5:11 PM
By boys in blue you mean council officers?
October 22, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Someone didn't read the article. Nothing to do with the Met.
October 22, 2025 at 5:10 PM
The police didn't issue this fine...

Compared to the 9 years it took them to call a Brexit turd a turd, that is positively rapid.

Weird post.

A two week trial for a straightforward Criminal Damage though. No wonder the court system is completely f*cked.
